County installs LED-enhanced stop signs

Two sets of LED stop signs were installed last week on County Road 4 at the intersections of County Road 6 east of Beaver Creek and County Road 17 just north of Manley. According to Rock County engineer Mark Sehr, the four solar-powered signs each cost $1,500. The eight flashing LED lights on the octagonal signs capture drivers’ attention to remind them to stop at the intersections. Reports of accidents, near misses and injury crashes have occurred at each of the intersections through the years. The LED-enhanced signs are especially noticeable under low-visibility conditions.
